Research Notes:
identification of Cecily's parentage has been a long-standing question, and has been based largely on an entry in Complete Peerage: "As early as in 1327 and 1328 Robert de Morley had settled the reversion of the manor of Roydon, &c, on Cecily, da of Thomas Bardolph (Feed of Fines, Norfolk, Edw III, no 37) (CP IX p216). It is possible that the original text reads as given, but what is presently available for review regarding the above is in the Calendar of Feet of Fines for Norfolk, as follows: "37. Cecilia... Bardolf v. Robt. de Morle, of the manors of Reydon and Sheryngham. Also the said Cecilia v. Robt., of the said manors." (Rye, Cal Feet Fines Norfolk, p.277). Fragmentary, evidently a fine, appears to have involved a marriage settlement, it was between two adults, Robert de Morley, and Cecily. William de Morley and his to-be wife Cecily were both minors, and thereby not an active party to the fine. [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 9/24/2007-174124]

I suggest that Cecily was actually the daughter of John Bardolf and his wife Catherine; the Cecily of the 1326/7 fine was not the prospective bride, but rather her paternal grandmother (widow of the deceased Thomas Bardolf) acting on her behalf. [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 9/24/2007-174124]

observations made by W. S. Walford, Esq., F.S.A. concerning a group of 14th century deeds provided to the Society of Antiquaries of London by J. J. Howard, Esq., F.S.A. in May 1860:
"The first deed, which is in French, and dated at Wormegay on Monday the Feast of the Conception of our Lady, 20 Edw. II. (8 Dec. 1326), in an agreement between Monsire Thomas Bardolf, Lord of Wormegay, and Monsire Robert de Morlee, Marshal of Ireland, for the marriage of William de Morlee, son of the latter, with Cecilia, daughter of the former. Robert de Morlee covenanted to enfeoff his intended daughter-in-law of lands to the value of 100l. (i.e. per annum, it is presumed); and Thomas Bardolf undertook to find William and Cecilia with board and clothing at his own hostel until William should be twenty years of age, if Thomas Bardolf should so long live. Immediately after his decease William and Cecilia were to have the 100l. in land, though Robert de Morlee might be still living. In some event not clearly stated (probably owing to the accidental omission of a few words), and also after the death of her intended husband, Cecilia was to have the 100l. in land during her life for her maintenance. In case William should be made a knight, or wish to enter the profession of arms (ou voile aler entre les gentz au fait darmes) before he was twenty years of age, Thomas Bardolf was not to be bound to furnish him with anything out of his own hostel. For such marriage and feoffment Thomas Bardolf agreed to pay Robert Morlee 666l. 13s. 4d., in five years, by equal portions; and if Cecilia happened to die before the whole was paid, he was not to pay any more after her death. A formal instrument was to be prepared, under the advice of the counsel of both parties. [Ref: John Ravilious SGM 9/24/2007-174124]
